These days, there really is no way to know how well an established property can be adapted into a movie or TV show.  For every 'Haunted Mansion' with Eddie Murphy or 'Battleship,' we have 'Pirates of the Caribbean' and 'Transformers.'  So while Disney's roller coaster 'Big Thunder Mountain' might not seem like the obvious choice to get its own TV show, ABC has set its sights on bringing the famed  Western attraction to the small screen with a dramatic hour-long series.  Will they succeed, or go off the rails?

That collection may grow in the future, but for now, Doctor Who (David Tennant)'s upcoming appearance on 'Star Wars: The Clone Wars' is strictly voiceover.

While much of the East Coast continues whipping itself into a frenzy over the incoming "Frankenstorm," we've just received confirmation that everything is going to be alright with the world. For you see, Willow and Oz are getting back together! For non-Whedon nerds, that is to say that Seth Green will guest star on the current (and potentially final) season of 'How I Met Your Mother,' alongside his former 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' co-star Alyson Hannigan.
